Thanks for your prompt awnser, to my questions. I didn't get your opinion on can a hiatal hernia get bigger over time?
I did have a green light for my GP to exercice but how could I strenghten my diaphragm or les?
for the diet I don't know what to eat anymore and I keep loosing weight like crazy?
You also said hiatal hernia are commun in senior or smokers...........but I am only 35 .
You also suggested 20mg omeprazol before each meal, but my Gastro gave me only 30mg of nexium once a night for 4 weeks then when needed thats it.
My concern is my worry to developped oesophagitis or worsse do you really belived I can live a lifetime without having those complications? or should I look into esoflex technic or nissen? my hernia is 2cm how come others have bigger one?
please if you could awnser all of my question it will ease my spirit since i was diagnosed with HH I have been feeling like a timebombe is inside my body and I dont allowed my self to live anymore. Would you kindly help me.
Thanks doctor
Answer hi jack,
it is very awkward that nexium is prescribed as needed. nexium and omeprazole are within the same class of drug, which are proton pump inhibitors. their mechanism of actions are similar. these drugs take a few weeks to work. taking it on-and-off doesn't do anything.
it is true that hiatal hernia is diagnosed more often in smokers and seniors. a man in his 30s can have a hiatal hernia; however, many are asymptomatic.
exercising will not strengthen your diaphragm or les. it can only help promote a better physiological response to stressors in the body.
as far as your diet, please purchase a cookbook for diabetics or search online for a recipe website designed for diabetics. i am 100% sure that there are plenty out there. it does not mean that you are diabetic. i am just referring that the diabetic diet is a lot safer at the present time.
a sliding hiatal hernia is very common and does not need surgical intervention.
